"You can not train a horse to a shout and expect him to obey a whisper"
Owner & Trainer - Kelly Poff

Kelly is the Head Trainer and Co-Owner of TNEC.  She started riding at the age of 5 with Mrs. Whistle at Hob Nob Hill in Easton, PA.  While growing up she showed at several Hunter/Jumper shows an worked at local barns schooling horses.  Financially Kelly's family could not afford for her to have an extensive show career so instead she rode and cared for other peoples horses to  help pay for her own horse.  After high school Kelly attended Potomac Equestrian Center in Gaithersburg, MD where she graduated first in her class with a degree in Equine Management, Training and Instruction. While attending college she worked with such trainers as Lynda Oliver in dressage, Laura Buch and Grant Shneidman in eventing as well as others.  She also worked with animal actors where she cared for the animals in the Radio City Music Halls' Christmas show as well as caring for "The Black Stallion."  After graduating Kelly found the love of teaching and training children and  horses is truly where her heart was.  She has successful students from mini-stirrup thru Medals.  She also has had students placing in the top 10 at Nationals for IHSA as well as coaching some students to a win in equitation classes at the Appaloosa Nationals.  

If asked, the most important thing to Kelly is to see her students over come any obstacle and do there very best while feeling a sense of pride in themselves.  
Kelly has found a new passion in coaching the Lafayette College Equestrian team who won the region in 2022 and is on track to win for 2023 season. 
Trainer - Rebecca McGregor

Becky has taken a break from working while her oldest son, Colton, kicks cancers butt!  #ColtonStrong
Becky grew up with her mother's passion molding her into the horse woman she is today.    Becky and her sister Brittany were the "guinea pigs" growing up and often were found breaking and training ponies, problem horses and off the track TB's for their mom, Kelly.   Becky went on to attend Morrisville State College where she competed in IHSA in the "Open" level.  She graduated with a degree in equine science and also was bit by the breeding bug.   Becky enjoys continuing her education in many equine related fields and has also has her Equine Appraisal License that she practices on the side.  She has been teaching for TNEC since 2001 with successful students from mini-stirrup up to the Medals. Becky also trains and shows young horses in-hand with lots of success! 
  "When starting horses, my focus is on giving them a solid foundation from which they can go into any discipline. The philosophy and techniques I use are based on classical Dressage and natural horsemanship methods. After bringing a horse along, it is equally important to me to bring you, the owner/rider, into the picture. By doing this, I can help you build a strong partnership with your horse and give you the knowledge you need to continue into whatever discipline you choose."
 There is never a dull moment if Becky is around.  You can check out her Champion Welsh pony stallion Brookside Pink Magnum on her website www.rebedonfarm.com
